SoftCreate Co., Ltd. has partnered with KELA Co., Ltd. and SLING to begin offering a package of “Dark Web Joint Monitoring Services” that can be used jointly by multiple financial institutions, including regional banks.
This package is a shared-use model that enables financial institutions to achieve an inexpensive, high-quality monitoring system without having to maintain their own individual monitoring systems. It continuously monitors threat information on the dark web using an advanced cyber threat intelligence platform provided by SLING, a member of the KELA Group, and our monitoring center (SOC) scrutinizes and selects the information before providing it on a monthly basis.
In recent years, cybercrime targeting financial institutions has become increasingly sophisticated. According to the National Police Agency’s report for the first half of fiscal year 2025, the number of reported phishing cases has increased sharply to approximately 1.196 million (an increase of approximately 89% compared to the same period last year), and the amount of damage caused by fraudulent transfers via internet banking has reached approximately 4.224 billion yen.

By 2025, cases of securities account hijacking and fraudulent contracts and resales using mobile lines will become major social issues, and financial institutions will be strongly required to take fundamental measures against the theft of customer information through phishing sites and unauthorized operations from malware-infected devices.
In response to this situation, we have partnered with KELA to combine the intelligence platform provided by SLING, a KELA Group company, with our monitoring center (SOC) to create an affordable, high-quality “dark web monitoring” package service that can be used jointly by multiple financial institutions.
